Question

1. Define (include citation). a supersaturated solution: b. saturated solution: c. unsaturated solution: 2. How is a supersaturated solution prepared? 3. In this lab, how are going to avoid forming a supersaturated solution? 4. In this lab, how are going to identify when you have reached the solubility temperature for a given amount of KNO,? For the following questions, use the solubility curve of benzene (located on next page). Determine if the following solutions would be saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated. a. 0.15 g benzene is added to 100. g Hh:0 at 30.°C 5.

Explanation / Answer

1-a:

Supersaturated solution: A solution that contains more than the equilibrium amount of solute is called supersaturated solution. This solution contains more than the maximum dissolved amount of solute.

1-b:

Saturated solution: A solution that contains maximum dissolved solute is called saturated solution. In saturated solution, the dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with the undissolved solute.

1-c:

Unsaturated solution: A solution that contains less than the maximum dissolved amount of solute is called unsaturates solution. If additional solute is added to unsaturated solution, it will dissolve.
